Integrating Freshsales with Zendesk allows sales teams to collaborate more easily and gain a 360 degree view of their customers. This provides a more streamlined sales process and enhances visibility into account information of the customer.

How can you get started?
It can be intimidating to start a new project, especially if you don’t know where to start. Here are a few tips to help you get started.

1. Understand the most important support data that will help your sales team to close more deals in existing account
2. Check if existing native integration from Freshsales support such a mechanism. As of this when this article is written, there seems to be no way natively to integrate. However I could see some integration with Zapier third party route. Zapier integrations can be costly option if the number of tickets and ticket updates is very high.
3. For more advanced integrated experience – which not only integrates the Data but also give a UI experience, explore solutions like AppEQ – which does integration both at Data, UI and contextualise based on user. Additional feature of AppEQ like Video collaboration, annotation and chat makes it all the more powerful.

By integrating Freshsales and Zendesk, sales teams can work together more effectively to gain a complete view of their customers. This allows for a more streamlined sales process and better customer support.
